– Things went as best as they could have, I guess.

– Tony found himself in a weird situation afterwards. He had transportation and a little bit of money, but nowhere to go. Just driving around aimlessly, staring at signs on the highway and wondering which exit he should take to start his new life.

– He thought about all the places he’d visited as a child, searching his memory for a place that felt safe. But everything kept coming back to his hometown, Miami. The place he’d been trying to escape ever since he moved to Tallahassee. And he couldn’t go back there anyways, for obvious reasons.

– It would’ve been idiotic to go back to the place he came from when he was supposed to be dead. So he chose Boca, here, similar to Miami in location and overall atmosphere. A quiet city where he could hide and still get a semblance of the feeling of home that he had when he lived with his mom. [Cathy nods with conviction] He settled in Boca because it reminded him of the last safe place he’d ever lived.
